Figure 2:

Association between log10 serum E2 levels (pg/mL) and pulse wave velocity (PWV, m/s) in 70 premenopausal, healthy trauma-exposed women (age range 18-49 years; panel A). Pearson product correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between serum E2 and PWV. After grouping our participants into the two groups based on PTSD diagnosis (PTSD−, n=33; panel B and PTSD+, n= 37; panel C), a strong correlation was observed between E2 and PWV in our PTSD− group.
